Learning with Transformation Invariant Kernels
This paper considers kernels invariant to translation, rotation and dilation. We show that no non-trivial positive definite (p.d.) kernels exist which are radial and dilation inv...

Near-Maximum Entropy Models for Binary Neural Representations of Natural Images
Maximum entropy analysis of binary variables provides an elegant way for studying the role of pairwise correlations in neural populations. Unfortunately, these approaches suffer f...

Second Order Bilinear Discriminant Analysis for single trial EEG analysis
Traditional analysis methods for single-trial classification of electroencephalography (EEG) focus on two types of paradigms: phase locked methods, in which the amplitude of the ...
